I have been very skeptical about the ongoing mortgage-backed purchases.

The Fed's policy is especially troubling because the warning siren for problematic inflation is getting louder.

I'm concerned that the Fed's current paradigm almost guarantees that it will be behind the curve if inflation becomes problematic and persistent.

The economy has come roaring back from COVID. GDP is above its prepandemic level, and the Fed forecasts GDP will grow by a robust 7 percent this year.

We appreciate the IG and the work you guys do, and appreciate your eyeballs on the agency.

"Buy American" policies that seek to limit foreign access to U.S. Government procurement contracts have caused our trading partners to threaten to do the same.

I appreciate your answer.

I think it is fair to say that prior to, say, the COVID pandemic hitting us, we were living in one of the freest trading, global trading environments in the last 100 years.

I just hope we could agree that a sensible rule would probably not require highly paid outside consultants to fill out a questionnaire.

I am committed to working with all Members of this Committee to improve access to affordable housing.

This is completely one-sided. And I am very concerned that this mechanism is not giving the accused party any opportunity to either defend themselves or correct the problem, if there is one.

We aren't here today to talk about ways we can make housing more affordable.

We must work in a bipartisan manner toward comprehensive reform which serves families and the taxpayers.

There is no guarantee that further Government support will improve access to housing.
